A filler for a urethanedimethacrylate composite was silanated with mixtures of fluoroalkyl-, aminoalkyl-, phenyl-, vinyl-, bis silyl ethane- and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MAOP) in an attempt to increase the hydrophobicity of the coupling agent layer. Diametral tensile strength was used to evaluate composites stored for (1) 24 h in 23 degrees C (RT) air; (2) 24 h in RT air plus 24 h ...

The Front Cover shows the “two faces” of bismuth-catalyzed dehydrogenation reactions: Si–O bond formation is achieved either by thermal or photochemical treatment silanes and TEMPO; TEMPO: (tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yl)-oxyl. observation absence H2 indicates that different mechanisms are operative, opening up perspectives for switchable catalysis. Alcohols also tolerated as substrates. artwork wa...

The binding of a dihydrogen molecule (H(2)) to a transition metal center in an organometallic complex was a major discovery because it changed the way chemists think about the reactivity of molecules with chemically "inert" strong bonds such as H H and C H. Before the seminal finding of side-on bonded H(2) in W(CO)(3)(PR(3))(2)(H(2)), it was generally believed that H(2) could not bind to anothe...

In this application note the NanoArrayerTM is used to print proteins onto various surface types including hydrogel, nitrocellulose, and chemically treated surfaces such as silanes and self-assembling monolayers (SAMs). This demonstrates the utility of these surfaces as printing substrates for a variety of potential applications, some of which may require a flat silane or SAM surface while other...
